The Al-Sarai Mosque (Arabic: جامع السراي), also known as Hassan Pasha Mosque or Al-Nasr li-Din Allah Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in the Rusafa district of Baghdad, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq, on Zuqaq al-Sarai. The mosque was said to be first laid by 34th Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir in 1193 CE. The mosque was also nicknamed "King Ghazi Mosque" because it was where the old Iraqi Kings prayed during the Royal Era.
